It seems that huge amounts of birds are falling dead from the sky world
wide. Fish are also dying now in huge numbers all around the world.
What the heck is going on? Seems like it started with the honey bees
dying off and then went to bats and now this dreadful news. As
gardeners we should all be concerned. Without the help from our avian
friends, the insect population could explode. We really need the help
of good pollinators like the bees and we need birds and bats also to
keep harmful insects in check!

Much better. I just wish I could be left out of it. Passenger pigeons
used to "blacken the skies" in the East. It was unthinkable that they
would ever become extinct.
A real page turner in the same league as "Guns, Germs, and Steel".
(Available from better libraries near you, at least until the
Republicans, with help from the "Blue Dog" Democrats, close them.)
